Usually the expression used at Blackjack tables, your story rings play through for pulling the one armed bandit. My father once claimed that he won three jackpots the order of $3000 each. What I wonder is how much he spent to make that kind of money. It certainly wasn't luck. Just the law of numbers.
I recall playing a slot machine for some time in Reno. But there was a high payoff poker machine nearby and I stopped to play that. Shortly after, some guy came to the slot machine that I been playing and hit the jackpot! A casino attendant came over and made the point to me. I don't gamble, so I consider playing casino slot machines to be a kind of charity to the casino. ;-)
All in all, a good write. Showing us what an addiction to gambling can reduce one to.

I don't have time to read it, but the way you have presented your father's story is very well written. And, I'm sure that Morley deserved this accolade you've written for him in such detail.

Poignant and predictable. I was just wondering how my partner will act when I go. She has filled the house with little items and gifts that she has acquired, mixing them with my mementos from my trip around the world and my early accomplishments. She thinks there will be conflict in my family. Fortunately they are not here and I don't think there will be.

This is very good account what goes on when some one dies. People/relatives who probable hadn't set foot in his house showed up taking what they could take. Unbelievably how people, some people will act.
